Hi there! It's not everyday we get to share our story. So when Doppelganger Open Mic founder received a call from BFM 89.9's Ali Johan, inviting her on That Music Show, she went home that very night to shortlist her 4 songs to share on air. She also prepared some talking points just in case Richard Bradbury, the producer/host threw some curve balls. He didn't and proved to be a long time supporter of the independent scene. Big thanks to the BFM folks for having us on air! Most importantly, check out the 4 songs we selected: 1. Lightwriting by Liyana Fizi 2. Amie by Ariff AB 3. Deep Blue Sea by Melanie Horsnell 4. Wait for it (Revolution) by One Buck Short Visit http://www.popfolio.net/feyst10 to listen to 1, 2 & 4. Visit http://www.myspace.com/melaniehorsnell to listen to 3.

What is Indie Youth Fest?  Inspired by our regular Doppelganger Open Mic gigs, Festival Directors Jasmine Low & Nikki Yeo conceptualised FEYST10 as a celebration and a culmination of the year's events - consider it like a wrap party.

Themed 'Celebrating Digital Culture', the very first Indie Youth Fest is the result of many years of producing Doppelganger Open Mic Open Stage gigs. Some of you who may know us when we were called Valhalla Open Mic, thanks for all of your support. The scene's simply mushroomed since those early days where gigs were only a few.

Happening at the same time is the Malaysian National Finals of Electronic Sports World Cup, 2008 Malaysia where 7 Malaysians will be chosen to represent Malaysia at the ESWC Grand Finals in San Jose, USA in August this year. Check out our two mascot New Beetle cars (pictured with our gorgeous emcee, Elvanna) - the road show stars. Aren't they just so cute? Thanks to the guys from Play Interactive! More ...
